Hey All,
So, . . . when power breaking (popping the clutch and holding the break to smoke em) I assume that the rear breaks take a beating? Or is there somthing i don't know?

The BRAKES take a real beating too when power braking. Give the brakes a break, don't power brake unless you want to break something.

Seriously though - you're correct - it's the rears that suffer - the fronts are locked up not wearing anything.
